A student at the University of Alabama named Kelsey Hall is everyone’s spirit animal this Holiday season.
The 20-year-old took to Twitter on December 2 to post a photo of herself wearing a colorful Christmas tree costume. She said if the picture was shared over a thousand times, she would wear the costumer for the rest of the semester. Turns out, that “dare” came true.
“My mom got me the costume because I love Christmas, and she thought it was funny,” she told People magazine. “I took this picture and thought it would just be funny to post, but I had no idea that I would actually have to wear this so that’s why I said I would wear it for the rest of the semester.”
“I definitely did not think I would get 1,000 retweets, I thought it was a very unrealistic number—the most retweets I have ever got before was, maybe, five,” she says. “When the retweets were coming in I was shocked! I had 12 yesterday morning and somehow hit 1,000 by the end of the night!”
